Anna Dickinson and the Driver.

OF unauthorized impudence and cold
assumption the cOachman of the milliOned
upper thousands in New York provide the
most nearly perfect specimens to be found
in the United States. They appear to think
that common vehicles and people on foot
have no right in the streets. So they
halloo at pedestrians who are about to get
in the way, and rattle across streets with
indifference as to who or what NAV be
on the crossings. the average democratic
New Yorker does not mind being whistled
at by car drivers, and will make lively
jumps over a crossing to get out of the
way of q milk wagon or coal cart; but
when it comes to having n carriage drawn
by prancing horses, with banged tails and
silver mounted harness, bear down upon
him with .'Halloo, there, J" from liver
led driver, he feels more like cracking the
horses nose with stick than clearing a
passage for them.
He usually docs nothing restrictive
however. and Anna Dickinson is there
fore all the more u heroine. 1t was at
Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, in a
recent rain storm. The avenue was
crowded with vehicles. and crossing was
difficult. Anna had lodged in and out
successfully, but she found when near
the farther sidewalk that she had to wait
a few seconds for wagon loaded with
long Iscccs of lumber to pass. As she
stood thcro a carriage, containing the
wife and daughter of a ten millionaire,
came dashing up. and some inarticulate
whoops from the driver warned her to
get out. But sine didn't I. She stood as
resolutely as if she hal been on the lee
ture platform, and Jehu had to slacken
the pace of his horses. though he let
them walk up almost against her, and it
looked IS if it was his intention to drive
over her. But she shook an umbrella in
the face of the beasts two or three times
and apparently made him believe that
she would stick the end of it into their
eyes if her rights were imposed upon
much further And he, looking very
much Disguised, stopped short. But a
look of triumph was spread over Annals
features as she stepped upon the side
walk.-New York Cor. Kansas City

A CHINESE BLUNDERBUSS.
A Clumsy and UnwieIdy Weapon-A
Load for Two Men.

A Clumsy and UnwieIdy Weapon-A
Load for Two Men.
Two Chinese blunderbusses have been
received from Shanghai by the Winches-
ter Arms company from their agent in
China. The largest weighs 80 pounds, Is
over feet long, and the barrel contains
almost metal enough to make good
sized cannon of the present day. 1t ap-
pears to be made of iron three-eighths of
an inch thick at the muzzie, with bore
one inch in diameter. The wood work
extends to within a few inches of the
muzzie, and the barrel is made fast to it
by five iron bands rudely but firmly riv-
eted together. Just what kind of wood
it was made of no one could tell, but it
seemed as hard as hickory. Tire stock or
butt was very small and was not made.
after the pattern of the stocks of the
present arms now in use.
For the trigger or hammer peculiar
device was resorted to. An incision about
Oac-quarter of an inch wide was made in
the center of the barrel stock, through
which, fastened by n PIVOT, was sus
pended the trigger, formed in the shape
of an >, with split ut the top forming
two pronGs, in which probably was placed
some combustible. and when the under
part was pulled backward 1t would de-
scend upon little projection at the left
side of the barrel, probably intended for
n flint pan. Taking it all in all, it was
about the most clumsy and unwicldy
weapon ever got up, and when loaded
must have been fully as dangerous to the
possessC- as the intended victims, if not
more so. Unless he was a giant and
possessed of herculean strength no one
man could ever manipulate it, and the
Chinese must have been giants in the days
when it was used.
It was explained by a representative of
the Winchesters later however, that the
guns were intended for two men to
handle. One man went ahead and car
ricd it upon the shoulders. Behind him
came the soldier who did the sighting and
pulled the trigger. No one was able to
tell whatever became of both men after
the charge had been fired. 1t must have
kicked bad enough to knock the rear man
out the first round. and the man III front
well, the conclusion would be sufficient
to knock the head off an ordinary man s
shoulders. The smaller weapon was
much after the same pattern, but looked
much more harmless. 1t had cord at
tached, evidently for the purpose of
swinging it over the shoulder to carry
while on march.-New Haven Union.

popular preacher to the seamen in Bos-

Potash for Orchards.

Light soils are apt to bo defic In
potash for any crop. and this de6cien-
cy is apt to be ono reason why other
manures do not produce full effects.
But In the orchard there Is apt to DO
lack of available potash whatever tho
character of the soil. The seeds of
fruits require potash for their develop
ment, and failure to provide 1t is ono
reason why the crop falls of or be-
comes mildewed before maturing.
Vino dressers in France often usc no
manure for their vineyards except
potash. They burn all the trimmings
from the branches and return the
ashes to the soil. In this country II
any fertilizer is to be applied to the
vineyard, potash is likely to be the
last thought of. Old apple orcha
always need more potash, and this
should be applied with other manure.
Hence the great value of ashes--a
valuable fertilizer, which. on most
farms, is thrown away as waste. -

ONLY a LITTLE CROSS.


All cold AND lone on the ground we found him.
The brave young spirit had passed away;
And as we folded his cloak around him,
We thought how nobly he fought that day.
Bright drops OF dew on the curls were gleam-
ing
That lay caressing the boyish brow.
Ali that pale young face in the moonlight
beaming
Is ever rising before me now
A broken sword near his hand was lying
His mothers picture-a lock OF hair;
And to his heart he had clasped, while dying,
The little cross that she used 10 wear.
That bright young head on the ground reposing,
The white face turned TO the star-liJ skies,
How still IL lay, while strange hands were clos
The heavy lids DER the once bright eyes.
Twas then We thought how that light foot
never
Again should beat on the cottage floor;
The joyous laughter was hushed for ever
That gayly rang through the open door.
Twas then we pictured his mother kneeling,
To kiss the pillow his cheek had prest;
From happy comrades, pale girl stealing,
To sing the songs that he loved the best.
We thought how they who with smiles did
greet him,
Could find none dearer TO take his place;
The noisy children that ran 70 meet him,
Would watch in vain for his pleasant face;
The fathers eyes would grow dim, while telling
The daring deeds OF his gallant boy;
And gloom would fall on that little dwelling,
Whose walls once echoed with sounds OF Joy.
The little cross from his cold hand taking,
One parting look on his face, and then,
With trembling fingers, and hearts nigh break
ing,
We laid It down on his breast again;
And with q prayer for the thousand mothers
Who nightly watch till the shadows nee,
We left him there, for we knew that others
Would need our help, oh, far more than hei

There is in the extreme north of
Utah a magnificent subterranean res
ervoir of first class soda water, bub-
bling and effervessing out of the
ground in such quantities that all
America might be supplied. In the
extreme south, on the road to Order
vile. is an exquisite circular lakelet
that is always just full to the brim
with water as clear and as green as
beryl. And wherever the water over
flows the lakes edge it encrusts the
ground and the grass and the fallen
leaves upon it with fine coating of
limestone, so that the brim is growing
higher and higher with the impercept-
ible but certain growth of a coral reef

lake will become a concreted BASIN
